- What Details do you need to know about me?
We need to know your basic personal details like name and address, of course. We also need a copy of your boat driver's license and some information about your boating history.If you do not have a licence then we are able to help you and provide you with personal training.

 How much will it cost me?
You can choose the level of membership you prefer? The higher the level you choose, the more value for money you get - and you can buy more points at any time if you need to. The points are valid for 2 years.

- Are there any additional costs or hidden charges?
No. Once you have paid the annual membership fee ($100) there are no other charges to use the boats other than the cost of fuel, which is charged, on an engine hour basis and training which is charged on an $75 hourly rate basis. You are fully insured and covered by Anchorage Marine Underwriting agency Pty Ltd, but you should read the terms of the insurance carefully as there are a number of conditions and exclusions, as well as an excess ($1500) you must pay if you have any claims. Talk to us if you want more details about these.

- How can I pay?
We accept cash, personal or bank cheques or credit card payment, although there is an administration charge if you choose to pay by credit card.

- Am I fully insured?
Yes, you are fully insured under Blue Sky Boating's policy, but you should read the terms of the insurance carefully as there are a number of conditions and exclusions, as well as excess you must pay ($1500) if you have any claims. Talk to us if you want more details about these.

- How does the Points System work?
You choose the Points Package that suits you (Silver, Gold or Platinum) and you receive a certain number of Points. You use these Points to take out the boats, just like Frequent Flyer Points. The number of Points you need to use depends on the boat you choose, the day(s) you want to use it, and the season. Use the easy Points Calculator to see just how many Points each boat requires. If you have a range of outings both weekends and weekdays throughout the year, you should get approx. 15 - 25 outings on a Silver package and up to 55 outings on a Platinum package.

- Can I introduce friends to Blue Sky Boating?
Our business is based upon referrals. You can take advantage of our referral bonus points program. If you are a member and you refer a friend who also becomes a member you each receive a bonus of 100 points. It is a great way to have fun with your friends, get more time out boating and ensure that your friends get a great deal at Blue Sky. Some people like to share a single membership. We can arrange split membership packages at your request - just talk to us!

 Can I let others drive the Boats?
Yes, assuming that the other driver has a current NSW boat drivers license. You as the member remain responsible for the boat and passengers in accordance with Blue Sky's conditions of membership.

- Do I have to join the Club to use the Boats?
Yes, you are not able to hire these types of boats anywhere in Sydney.
Back to Top
- Is there a limit on how far I can take the Boats?
Yes. These boats are available within the sheltered waters of Sydney Harbour and Pittwater/Hawkesbury. The limit lines for sheltered waters are shown on chart maps in each boat.
Back to Top
- What happens if I break down?
It happens. We are only a phone call away and will come to you immediately. Mobile phone coverage within Sydney Harbour is almost 100% Pittwater/Hawkesbury may have some areas with low signal.
Back to Top
- Will you be changing the fleet?
Yes, we will be adding new boats as the membership grows (so the more friends you get to join, the more boats you all get to enjoy!). We will also be rotating the current fleet as each boat reaches 3 years of age to bring in different boats based on what the Members want - you will be regularly asked to give us your preferences to help us buy just what you want to drive.
